ABOUT Sheryl Sandberg

“Long before Sheryl Sandberg left Google to join Facebook as its Chief Operating Officer in 2008, she was a fan. Today she manages Facebook’s sales, marketing, business development, human resources, public policy and communications. It’s a massive job, but one well suited to Sheryl, who not only built and managed Google’s successful online sales and operations programme but also served as an economist for the World Bank and Chief of Staff at the US Treasury Department.

Her experience navigating the the complex and socially sensitive world of international economics has proven useful as she and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg work to strike a balance between helping Facebook users control privacy while finding ways to monetise its most valuable asset: data.”
